3.21 CHECKING THE STEERING GEAR LINES AND CONNECTIONS
1. Condition of the pipes
- Check all pipes for tightness and wear.
Where supply pipes are subject to
negative pressure, it is particularly likely
that porous pipes will give rise to
problems (air in the system).
- If in doubt, always replace the line.
2. Pipe connections
- Check every pipe connection for leaks.
3. Line route
- Pipes must not be twisted during
assembly. To facilitate checking this, a
mark may have been provided on the
hose (sometimes in the form of text).
- Pipes should not touch other parts (to
prevent chafing).
- The course pipes follow should not
include any sharp bends; this applies
especially to the flexible suction and
return pipes.
- Pipes should not be pinched off by other
components.
